Well I finally got the stitches back on the needles after having to undo a few rows on one to pick up the stragglers.
And these…
became these…
Look at the very neat kitchener stitch seams at the toes – you can’t see the join…
And then move VERY swiftly over the heel which seems a bit ‘full’. It’s been a while since I knit socks but I don’t recall any being quite this full. I think next time I will use the reinforced heel stitch (which I don’t know the name of but which involves slipping stitches and carrying the yarn in front to make a thicker texture).
They are for my acupuncturist* who didn’t charge me when we went gallivanting off to Edinburgh at the drop of a hat in March resulting in me cancelling my appointment at short notice. Debs probably doesn’t do that as a matter of routine because she is sooooooo nice but since she expressed a liking for handknit socks previously and I had the wool in, as you do, I thought socks might be nice too.
* I have to wait a bit longer before I can go back to having acupuncture.
